The Art Of Tea Michael Franks SKU: MS 2230 Barcode: 4260019716101 34.00 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure Released Date: 24th September 2021 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info “The Art Of Tea” – Michael Franks (voc); David Sanborn (sax); Joe Sample (keyb); Larry Carlton (g); Larry Bunker (vib); Wilton Felder (b); John Guerin (dr, perc); Jerry Steinholtz (cga) Michael Franks is a master of words. Not only did he study American Literature, he is also a song writer and a composer of film music, which he demonstrates in his début album with a major label, where music and language are on a par. Originally a jazz musician, Franks reached out to pop and rock fans with “The Art Of Tea”. Sensually inspiring and playful numbers such as “Popsicle Toes” and “Eggplant” are full of crafty wordplay and almost Henry Mancini-like, airy jazz-pop. With a similar approach as Steely Dan, Franks’ singing and songwriting creates the basis for a sound that is founded on the support of top-notch musicians, many of whom are among the finest studio jazz musicians on the scene. The allstars line-up blazes with names such as Dave Sanborn and Michael Brecker on the saxophone. Guitar guru ‘Mr. 335’ Larry Carlton on the semi-acoustic guitar, Joe Sample at the keyboard, along with Wilton Felder on the bass contribute their Crusaders touch to the recording. Responsible for this impressively meticulous recording is, a.o. chief recording engineer Bruce Botnick, who also expertly taped the Doors and Beach Boys. The present production occupies the highest status in Franks’ discography, and has seldom been surpassed.
